Question
What the chances of rolling six sets of 18s, by rolling (3 six-sided die) six times?

Answer
I have no idea if this is correct or not, but here goes.

To get a number that you can only get the total once, which is by getting 3 6s in one roll, i get

c = combinations
n = number of dice
r = number of rolls.

c/(6^n) = 1/(6^3) = 1/216
or
(c^n)/(6^n)
Not certain.

Now to roll the dice 6 times and get 18, i get

1/(6^n * r) = 1/(6^3 * 6) = 1/(216 * 6) = 1/1296

But like i said, i am not certain if it is correct, because i am not to good with probabilities.

If i were you, i would ask others to see what they get, and which ever is the most popular answer, i would take that as the answer.
